    Please Educate me on HDPE/Poly Pipe

    Correct.... I said civil contractor:). There is nothing worse than being without water or fixing a water break. Hell even my irrigation "Mains" are plumbed this way.

    Please Educate me on HDPE/Poly Pipe

    This is a civil contractors approach so a little more expensive but bullet proof. I would use cts (much easer to find and adapt to if ever needed) pipe with brass compression couplers like these...
  3. Q

    large hex bit sockets.

    Timing cover plugs on quads/dirtbikes is another example. 10,14,17 are common. Some use them for valve cover plugs also. It is pretty ridiculous to use a 1/2" drive 17mm hex to take a plug out that has max 10-15 lbs of torque

    Harbor Freight 3 ton jack reviews?

    Had mine for about a year now weekend diy and love it. I've never had a jack with the rapid pump and would never think about going back now. No issues with it that's for sure.
  5. Q

    Is there a small circle cutter out there?

    Might sound stupid but how about a piece of pipe with the right I.d. sharpend and pressed through
  6. Q

    Tools that are just NOT needed, but lovely Engineers make you buy

    I'm just an average smhoe and have both t-27/47 it's actually quite common in any set of socket bits. Ive used them on brake calipers on really tight t-45 taped them in and no chance of slipping. Might not be what they where ment for but it works. To be honest I rather like torx and etorx can...
  7. Q

    Am I the only one that has a Craftsman Bolt-On 20V Max Lithium Ion Drill?

    The difference is with a combo I can use my drill to predrill the holes and my driver to drive the screws no messing around or swaping bits or changing heads
  8. Q

    Am I the only one that has a Craftsman Bolt-On 20V Max Lithium Ion Drill?

    I could see some uses for a diy guy who doesn't need or have the space for a bunch of dedicated tools on the other hand I can't see anything other than the drill and impact driver working that well. I think it has an inflator attachment that ppl really like to.

    Better yet how are u going to get the leverage u must be a beast of a man
  10. Q

    Impact driver or impact wrench.

    It also depends on what size of wrench u are talking about. I'm going to assume u mean the compact ones that are the same size as the drivers. If u are talking about the big hightorque models I think u would be better off having both my little impact driver breaks enough bits and screws with...
  11. Q

    Impact driver or impact wrench.

    Which would u use more the wrench or the driver I think that would answer your question. If u do mechanical work more then I think u would be dissapointed with a driver and vise versa

    new vise

    im looking to get a new vise for myself for x-mas and was looking to spend 75-150.
